Methods of this class

CTOR: instantiation of the seriesparser
init: initialisation of the seriesparser
parse: takes a filename and the 2 references to the translation tables, and parses it, you need 2 since you surely want to go in both directions, means tag to message, and trigger to tag... you can use both independently, since they share the actual languge definition hash... don't forget to initalize the refs since the sub fills them, if there were undef, they will be lost...
isa: issue the type of this object
version: issue the version of this module
debug: issue debugging messages to the console
series: Callback for an opening series tag; Is the first useful tag of the catalog env, since it holds the definition for one type of series
alias: Callback for an opening alias tag; This one defines an alias for an existing record, all changes mad through this one are mirrored back to the original record.
catalog: this is invoqued when the starting tag of the catalog env is called
catalog_: this is invoqued when the ending tag of the catalog env is called
text: some raw text comes in, store it and let the elements handle that...
other: some unkown text comes in, store it and let the elements handle that...
patternrevision: switch pattern active chars to perlish and non greedy patterns
